oscars so white

Tonight is the Academy Awards Show on WCRS. And once again, there is a lack of diversity in the nominees. 18 of the 19 (because Scarlett Johansson has TWO nominations) acting nominees are White, and the lone Black nominee is British (via Nigeria). The Directing nominees are all...Male.
